The History Editor: Is the Roman Empire falling again, LL ?
The Try From Memory Cat: This is from my British cat memory. It kind of started with their defeat of Napoleon. They built on their navy, it ruled the waves for over two hundred years. The American colonies were lost but, they ruled over Australia, Canada, India, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and numerous lands they passed through. Hong Kong was returned to China in 1999.
WW II pretty much doomed the Empire that at one time ” the sun never set “. Now they have let so many immigrants in, they are ashamed to show their flags. The newcomers have nothing in common with the British.
The Democrats want the same thing for America. Remember the 40 Trillion the American government owes almost everyone? A song for the once great empire.

Astronomy Picture of the Day
A Daytime Eclipse: Moon Occults Venus
Image Credit & Copyright: Arnaud Mariat
Explanation: There was something behind the clouds. Upon close inspection, it was the Moon, which was hard to see yesterday around noon above the small village of Cessy, France. But soon, it was not only the Moon. As expected, a bright dot suddenly appeared from behind the Moon — the planet Venus far in the distance. Captured in the single featured exposure, both appeared to show a crescent phase. The Moon’s crescent was quite slight — with only about 10 percent of its face illuminated by the Sun. In contrast, Venus’s crescent was more full — showing about 25 percent illumination. Venus appeared brighter because it is nearer the Sun and because its clouds are more reflective than the dark lunar surface. An occultation of Venus by the Moon is visible to only about 10 percent of the Earth, but in yesterday’s event even most of that was experiencing daytime.
